What's the ring record in recent times?

I know nothing is going to be as good as say the 90's, but in recent times who's been the ring daddy?

I'm sitting on a pretty decent haul this year and I scored again today, and it got me wondering is 50 - 70 rings in a year a lot or a little?

I think anything over 50 (Gold) is excellent. One thing I have noticed over the last 5 years is how many hunters on FB claim 100 to 200 rings a year, :shock: they leave out the fact 99% of them are junk rings.
 
As far as my best hunt, 8 gold in 5 hours, (2020) and some may ask why only 5 hours..the tides chased me in..

All time record I know of is this dude, but it was many many years ago..51 in 5 hours, scooping then using a sifter.

Hmmm....1958 huh ? In a Goldfish bowl of course. Didn't know guys hunted that far back , let alone usable machines. Kinda odd I see a class ring dated 1983 there...🤣
 
I lost 16 years of detecting pictures when my 4TB USB drive crash at the first of this year, but I did find one of my ring videos from the rings I found in 2010. No beaches in southwest Kansas. These are from dirt fishing and tot lots.


 
It really depends on how much time you spent to obtain the rings. I mean, if in 1990 you spent 4,000 hours to get 70 rings…

4,000 hours?! :shock:

Oh please Mr Scrooge, May I take a Sunday off?

Today there’s a whole new definition of “Ring Video”.

Absolutely loved this post and those pictures.

I wonder what kind of detector he was using in 1958 ? And yes, I've heard of conditions so good, that an md'r here put down his detector, and just blindly scooped with his sandscoop , for an hour or two, at the base of concrete rip-rap, that had acted as type of riffle board. He ended up with something like 700 or 800-ish coins, of which 100 were silver . And something like 13 gold rings.

And the ONLY reason he couldn't continue the fray, was that the tide chased him out. Doh !

Seems like you were always posting ring pics and setting the bar for the rest of us. But dang, that dude absolutely killed it! Holy Cow!!!

Looks like you boys might be calling me ring daddy this year :cool3:

I just assumed when I posted, but I only count gold rings. I also count returns. If I counted silver and junkers I'd already be in the 100's.

This thread has me just wanting to give up,thanks guys..I wish I lived near a ocean, unfortunately all we have here in my town is a muddy river the unemployed sunbath near that I've named cracker beach. I've went over the area those sungods where inhabitating,and didn't find nothing but a bus pass and a keychain with the name Bubba on it..if I ever move I'm looking back on this thread, and whoever has the most gold rings I'm looking for a place in your town.
 
There is only one person that can save Joe from walking the PLANK :pirate: , Craig , as Joes falling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Pr1_v7hsw PS skip the adds , this is the song Joe keeps playing for his GF , but the ship has already set sail:yes::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

I like the latest singer in Foreigner , Kelly Hansen. He was in an 80s metal band called Hurricane. YouTube: "I'm on to you" and "living over the edge". Killer songs from Kelly.
